FW gone again. The new MB is almost exactly like mine. Except mine has separate audio in/out ports, a 2.4GHz processor and a backlit keyboard. And cooler black keys and black around the screen. ;)

Very nice.
I had been telling people to forget about the Macbook and just get the 13" Macbook Pro.
I think I'll go back to suggesting this when people ask me.

Called the local Apple store. They do not know when they will have any of the updates in as of yet. They are saying they may know tomorrow.
The MB is nice but the iMac is amazing!!

$999 means that we'll have to hope the Apple tablet will finally break the sub-$900 barrier. A bit strange that it has a bigger hard drive than the low-end Pro.
